Lambert Expanded Radio Partnership
|
|
Professor Edward C. Lambert worked with radio station KFRU (owned by rival newspaper The Columbia Tribune) to provide a fully staffed news department made up of radio students. Instead of providing three general newscasts a day, as previously done, students began work at 5 a.m. to produce 12 sponsored daily newscasts, the first at 6:55 a.m. The first course in radio began in 1936, and the program continued to expand in the 1940s as demand for radio news grew.
Edward C. Lambert came to the School in 1946 to work on the broadcasting curriculum, which started in radio but began to move toward television in the 1950s. He earned his PhD in journalism in 1952.
